March Australia protesters rally against the Abbott Government on NSW far south coast

Hundreds of protesters have marched through Bega in the New South Wales far south coast as part of a wave of anti-government rallies across the country.

The rallies are organised by March Australia, an organisation protesting against recent federal government policy decisions.

Issues raised during the rally included the seven-dollar GP co-payment, the proposed winding back of the Renewable Energy Target and budgeted fuel tax increases.

Speaker Jo Dodds urged people to take action.

“When you vote, think about the elephant in the room, because what you do today matters very much,” she said.

“What you do today, is all you've got.

“Speak up, march, write to the paper; just make sure you do something today.”

The former Member for Eden-Monaro, Mike Kelly, told the rally that it's important to fight for what's right.

“Each one of you is a change agent,” he said.

“Each one of you can create the circle of consensus of debate and discussion of interest that we need to change things.

“So I salute all of you for being those change agents.”Hundreds of protesters have marched through Bega in the New South Wales far south coast as part of a wave of anti-government rallies across the country.
